20VC: Why Most AI Investments Will Do Worse than the S&P 500 | Why Early Stage VC is F******* | The Danger of Kamala Harris and Why Trump and Vance are Best | Freedom of Speech, Censorship and Government Control with Eoghan McCabe @ Intercom

Jokes are protected by freedom of speech. And if Elon repeatedly does that, his reputation should take a hit. No greater power should ever be trusted. And it's proven that they can't be trusted, for example, during the COVID times to decide what is or is not fake news or right or wrong or appropriate. That's very dangerous.

And I know you're playing devil's advocate right now, but there's very, very few people that agree that that's a good idea.

Because who gets to decide? During COVID, it turned out that these gene therapies were really bad for you and that these traditional treatments were really, really helpful. Don't slap your face like I shouldn't have said that because it's fucking true. Then I could just blast anything out as a fucking joke. Yeah. Yes, you can. And you should.

And that's the power and magic and beauty of freedom of speech. No one gets to decide what is or isn't appropriate or true. And people frequently make mistakes. And often it's worse than a mistake. It's very purposeful massaging of truth for various certain interests.

The kind of hard and fast rule in the United States is you can't yell fire in a crowded theater. If your quote unquote joke causes egregious harm to someone, maybe your joke, I don't know, it doxes someone and it tells people go and attack a certain person at a certain address. You've passed the threshold there. That's no longer speech.

That's kind of conspiracy to cause harm and inflict damage on a person. So I don't think you could say that that should be protected.

Abso-fucking-lutely. Are you crazy? You think that a higher power should tell you, the sovereign individual, the beautiful human that is Harry, what opinions you can and cannot have. Governments become insanely and dangerously powerful when their citizens cannot say what they believe is true or not.

Fuck. then you should be shamed. You should be criticized. People should stop following you. I think that that's really, really inappropriate. That's not a cool thing to do. But the powers that be cannot decide what's right or wrong and what's a joke. Because then they can just decide that various things that they don't like is a joke. Look, all freedom comes at danger.
